HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna =srecommended for the best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free

from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot. For example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Color Television is its

viewing screen. To see this screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The drawings give several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sittingdirectly in front of the TV and about 3 to 6 feet from the screen.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least 4 feet from the side of the TV. Place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some ex- perimentation with speaker placement for best perfor- mance.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most audio/video connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased

from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.

Before purchasing anycables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components. Also, make sure the cables are the correct length.

300-OHM TWIN LEAD CONNECTOR

This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

"F" TYPE 75-OHM COAXIAL ANTENNA CONNECTOR

For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television.

PHONO CONNECTOR

Used on all standard video and audio cables which con- nect to inputs and outputs located on the Television's front and rear jack panels.

S-VIDEO (SUPER VIDEO) CONNECTOR

This connector is used on camcorders, VCR's, and laser disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the

standard video cable to produce a high-quality picture.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV, cable TV (CAW), a TV game, etc.

1. VHF (75 Ohm) antenna/CATV When using a 75 ohmcoaxial cable system, disconnect

USING THE GENIUS REMOTE TO LEARN ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR CLU-851GR

The Genius Remote is equipped with a learning function which allows it to learn additional infrared control codes.

This remote will not only control the television, a VCR, and a cable box, but also other electronic equipment which uses an infrared remote transmitter, by learning the transmitter's codes.

Only infrared remote control codes can be stored in memory.

BEFORE STARTING THE MEMORY OPERATION

Since the infrared signals sent from the remote transmit- ter may be reflected by a wall, door, etc., even if the transmitter is not pointed directly at the device, it may operate. When storing the remote control codes of an- other device, turn OFF the power of the device (VCR, Cable Converter, etc.)

If you do not do this, the device may work unexpectedly. The power could be turned ON, an important tape could be erased, the volume could increase too much, etc..

halls, movie theaters, etc. when you set up your speaker system as shown in the section on rear panel connections on page 16 and page 19. The Surround sound system is most effective with movies played on a stereo VCR. Surround sound allows the viewer to enjoy sound which provides a feeling of "presence" from stereo broadcasts and VCR tapes* recorded with stereo sound. Also a mono input, simulating a stereo or more louder reproduction.

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

i:i:i:ii=i :i:i;:

• IGNITION NOISE: Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills and other

electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS: Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One isthe direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets

to the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.

• SNOW: Ifyour receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak,

your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
